Although the cruising guide indicates that there is some anchorage space at
Cabrit, we found the usable space to be completely taken up by mooring balls and
paid 12 euros to pick up a ball there.
It is still worth a visit for the hike, which is a gentle stroll along well
marked trails. It is not, as the cruising guide suggests, necessary to
take your cutlass to make a path through the thorns. There are good
views from the fort across to the main island, Terre d’en Haut, but the main
attraction of Cabrit has to be the proliferation of very cute baby goats.
Difficult to resist the temptation to adopt a “boat goat”
![]() The trails here are actually laid out and sign posted
![]() You can just see the sugar loaf anchorage at the foot of Le Chameau, on the
right of the picture
![]() This was the youngest baby goat we came across. Maybe a couple of
days old. The mother was nowhere to be seen.
![]() It would have been easy to pop it into our backpack for dinner.
